[5:17]  ¹ tn Heb “will bereave you.”

[5:17]  ² tn Heb “will pass through you.” This threat recalls the warning of Lev 26:22, 25 and Deut 32:24-25.

[7:4]  ³ tn The meaning of the Hebrew term is primarily emotional: “to pity,” which in context implies an action, as in being moved by pity in order to spare them from the horror of their punishment.

[7:4]  ⁴ tn The pronoun “you” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied.

[7:4]  ⁵ tn “I will set your behavior on your head.”

[7:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “and your abominable practices will be among you.”

[9:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “house.”

[20:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “each one, the detestable things of his eyes, throw away.” The Pentateuch does not refer to the Israelites worshiping idols in Egypt, but Josh 24:14 appears to suggest that they did so.

[23:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “name.”

[24:6]  ¹¹ tn Or “rust.”

[24:6]  ¹² tn Heb “has not gone out.”

[24:6]  ¹³ tn Here “lot” may refer to the decision made by casting lots; it is not chosen at all.

[24:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “in your uncleanness (is) obscene conduct.”

[24:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “because I cleansed you.” In this context (see especially the very next statement), the statement must refer to divine intention and purpose. Despite God’s efforts to cleanse his people, they resisted him and remained morally impure.

[24:13]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew text adds the word “again.”

[27:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “entrances.” The plural noun may reflect the fact that Tyre had two main harbors.

[27:3]  ¹⁶ sn Rome, another economic power, is described in a similar way in Rev 17:1.

[44:4]  ¹⁷ tn The word הִנֵּה (hinneh, traditionally “behold”) indicates becoming aware of something and has been translated here as a verb.

[48:16]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “four thousand five hundred cubits” (i.e., 2.36 kilometers); the phrase occurs three more times in this verse.
